Poll question: What Kind Of Democratic Party Do You Want?

[Scuba]

1. A larger party with a progressive attitude.

[Mass]

9. +1

[Ken Burch]

14. +10. And that reminds me of a quote attributed to Norman Thomas, the Socialist Party leader:

He was a perennial presidential candidate from 1932 until 1960(winning almost a million votes in 1932, a showing that probably helped push FDR to the left in the next four years).

Thomas revised the old Henry Clay quote thusly:

"I'd rather be right than president...but I'm willing to be both!"

[SugarShack]

20. One with Alan Grayson leading Floriduh's party!

No more Karen Thurman!

[Scuba]

22. Good idea. And maybe Russ Feingold here in Wisconsin.

2. 3. A party that actually looks out for the needs of Americans

Big tent, little tent, tie-dyed tent - they just need to busy themselves with upholding the Constitution while serving the needs of the people (not corporations) without all of this triangulation and 10-dimensional chess nonsense.

[CTyankee]

[Better Believe It]

7. How about a membership party with dues, regular membership meetings, election of local leadership,

political programs, positions and resolutions that all members vote on .... in other words a real political party under membership control and not simply an electoral apparatus?
